WASHINGTON, Juno . This bulletin was posted at
the navy department this afternoon:
" Dewey reports that the insurgents have been actively
engaged within the province of Cavite. They have won
several victories, taken as prisoners about 1,800 men and 50
officers of the Spanish troops, not natives.
" The arsenal of Cavite has been prepared for occupancy
by the United States troops on arrival of the transports."
The City Heini; Surrounded.
HONG KONG, June 0. Advices from Manila show
that the rebels are gradually surrounding the city. They
attacked the Spaniards on May 31st and the fighting still
continues. The rebels captured several towns and held as
prisoners the governors of the provinces of Cavite and Ba
tangas. An American spy says that Captain-General Augustus
wanted to surrender to Dewey, but officers persuaded him to
make further resistance. Refugees are arriving at Cavite
from all directions. When the dispatch boat left Manila
Thursday the rebels had besieged 200 Spaniards in old Ca
vite church. They had also cut the railroads in that neigh
borhood. The insurgents were only four miles from the
city.
One Spanish regiment has mutinied and shot their
officers.
Jt is reported that the rebels captured and tortured a
a number of Spanish priests.

London that the Britiali authorities will
to 2ecure the departure of (Jarranza
and Du Bobc, the Spanish chief spies,
from liritiuh sail.

that they are engaged in conspiring
against a government with which Great
Britain is on friendly terms.
The department la convinced that

in Cunuda will ceituinly not continue
longer than this week. It is thought
probable even that the two worthies

clears the situation so tar aa the-Bend-ing
of troops to Porto Rico is concerned.
J According to the beet advices of the
navy department there is today not a
single vessel of the Spanish fleet any
where in the vicinity of the northern
coast line of the Antilles more formida
ble than a gunboat.
The troop-ships, which have sailed
from Mobile and which are to receive
reinfotcements from Tampa and Jack
Honville, will require fewer convoys than
it was originally intended to send with
them. So long as the Terror, which the
navy department fully believee has been
destroyed, was afloat, she was a dan
gerous menace to the fleet of transports.
The Terror's speed was twenty-eight
knots an hour, and she might have sunk
a half-dozen troop ships before she
could have been overtaken by even the
fleetest vessel in the squadron.
There are still believed to be three or
four Spanish vessels in the vicinity of
San Juan, but they are not of such a
character as to create the slightest ap
preheneion on the part of the authori
ties there. Consequently the Porto
Hican expedition will be pushed with
all possible speed, and present indica
tions are that by the first of next week
a landing will have been effected which
will result in the epeedy capture of that
island by the American forces.
